Well done England! You’ve come a long way and played some great rugby. Congratulations to new Zealand

[@SweetMana24]

After 10 years of England finally reaching the shores of New Zealand, well played. It could have gone either way. See you at Eden Park.

[@AntitrollRusse]

Je suis Français et je suis très heureux de voir le rugby Anglais revenir à ce niveau là, j'espère voir un beau tournoi des 6 nations et une équipe d'Angleterre digne de sa très glorieuse histoire .👍

[@tonymacarthur7409]

For england after 8 test matches together in '24 you'd hope their team would show this type of game. What would NZ look like after 8 test matches. I reckon ABs will pick up their efforts in Eden Park but the 3rd test in twickers will be a cracker! UpDaABs 2024.

[@loki_of_earth]

If they'd got their kicks it would've been different too. At this level you need an 80+% level kicker.

Man I think England rugby has grown a lot with this group! They had the ABs in 6s and 7s on the edges. Really stoked with that performance by England

[@tooslick4986]

As an AB fan, England's tackling was solid. They really made our boys work for it. It could've gone either way.

[@snizzlebunizzle4836]

A win that could have been. I think the slightly better team edged it in the end but definitely more positives than negatives. Tight, tense good old fashioned tests match that. Expect both teams to be even more on it next weekend. It will be brutal. Well done AB's

[@kevinbarrett1362]

Fairly good "first" hit out performance from the All Blacks especially considering the new coach, 5 new caps and the fact England are coming off a 7 week head start with the "6 Nations" earlier this year....

[@jonwright4719]

Thank you for showing the extended highlights and then thank you to the players and he coaching teams for a good honest game- no professional game is perfect but D Mac won it for NZ (as an England supporter)- try saving tackle on Freeman, stopping FW going under the posts- got better at kicking and all around passing game- congrats. I said MS would have to play like Barry John from '71 for England to win- Come On ! It's on for the weekend- keep the front row up and we're there- a lot of points and drama to come but 1-1 is better than anyone would have predicted after the World Cup.

[@JoeJoeBoogieman]

A lot of the comments on this saying it was low quality rugby? Please go watch soccer you don’t know a thing 🤦🏽‍♂️ ABs trained together for 10days before this… ABS did well. Oh and they won the game?

It’s very rare you can beat NZ on their home turf. England have improved lots. Just be direct and run the ball over the try line. No need for elaborate moves. Win the game first and then do all the fancy stuff.

[@Joseph_Dredd]

Great contest. Pity about a couple of missed kicks by England. Saffers definitely the team to beat imo. NZ/England/Ireland/France. Wallabies seem to have dropped off the pace recently... Rugby certainly is entertaining at the moment.

[@jakemiddleton5266]

Felt like the game got away from England in the last 20. We tried to out territory and possession NZ and failed. Kicks got too long and it gave Beauden et al the chance to get out of the corners we tried to box them in. That led to NZ territory and possession which forced silly pens - England gave away 2/3 in the first half and 6 in the last 20 mins. Would have preferred to see George stay for his leadership, Mitchell for his kicking, and Marcus for his ability to create. Felt like a decision to try and be really hard to beat at the end, rather than going all out for a win. There is so much potential in that back line and we have a really mobile back row. Feels like counter attacking and playing possession are the next big steps we need to make to really make the top 4 a top 5.

Marcus's kicking was poor and it needs to improve however, with him and Finn we have youth and plenty of talent on our side. don't think any country in the world has the depth at 10 that we do, he'll fix his kicking and if he doesn't he'll lose his spot to fin.
